Was I too harsh?
I am married to a man who doesn't like to pick out gifts for me. He rarely buys me a Christmas or birthday gift, and if he does it's a last minute thing out of desperation. So when he announced last weekend that he was planning to buy his (female) dispatcher a Christmas gift, I told him "That's fine, but if you get her something and not me, your balls will be bulging out your ears."
I WOULD be angry and hurt if he did this, but he wasn't too thrilled with my response either.  So how would you have reacted in my position?

LOL that's a good one. I always told mine when he came up with something goofy that if he kept on I'd just be wearing furry earrings!

Eric likes to buy me things...he bought me a pandora charm bracelet last year and has been surprising me with charms...last night (was our 7 yr anniversary, this is my second marriage) he surprised me with a ring that I have wanted. However, if he DIDN'T choose to buy me things and was going to buy for another woman, even if she IS his dispatcher.....well....lets just say I agree with the bulging balls and the ears!!!

I don't think you were too harsh at all. Since he has trouble in the gift giving department...why not print out pictures of what you want and where to buy it, so he doesn't have to guess? That way, if you print out a lot of pictures....you'll get what you want, but be surpised in what one he actually gets for you?

My husband doesn't always buy me gifts...on my birthday last year I got a lap top!!! This year nothing! It is so weird how he will one year and not another...If he even thought about buying for a coworker and not for me I would really question WHY!!! My antenna would be straight up in the air like a skunks tail!!!!! You were not too harsh!

Ahahohhhh..... nonononono you were not at all too harsh!!!!! I would question my husband if he was buying a gift for another woman, if he finds it so difficult to find something for me .... and he would have to cough up the answer FAST!!!!
